Kelin -
once in a blue moon

Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Kelin. Children named Kelin have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 5,026 Kelin ranked higher than ever before in 1986. By comparison, there have been 101 years in which the first name Kelin has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their babies Kelin only once in a blue moon, so kids and adults with this name can consider themselves exceptional!

In years where the graph has no value, the name Kelin was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Kelin has 5 letters 
and begins with a K

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a quite popular first letter for given names. That’s because 7.7% of all common first names in the US begin with this letter. Only the initial letters A and J are more common for first names.

With five letters, the name Kelin is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

Therefore: As 7.7% of all first names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average.

Other names with
